Leader Rob Lucci
Rob Lucci is a black color leader, that brings a unique ability to the table. When he attacks his effect reduces the cost of one of the opponent’s characters by -1 and trashes 2 cards from the top of your deck. This somewhat resembles Sakazuki’s -1 cost reduction effect, around which this deck is built. Black color decks are famous for their removal tools, and this one’s no different.
Trashing cards is a slow mill, which seems disadvantageous, but Black loves to look at trash and use those cards. The more we’re trashing, the better cards we’ll get to redraw and play.
Gameplay
Cost Reduction
The key to this deck’s success lies in smartly reducing the costs of your opponent’s characters, making them easy targets for takedowns. Tsuru is a 2k counter with the effect of -2 cost a target. She spends only 1 Don to enable your removal cards.
Enies Lobby is another essential card, best played as early as possible. The ability to -2 a character’s cost every single turn is great value to get value out of your removal cards consistently.
Tempest Kick becomes your mid-game ace, drawing you a card while reducing an opponent’s character’s cost by -3. And hitting the condition for Tempest Kick isn’t hard with Leader Rob Lucci’s ability to trash 2 cards on every attack.
Helmeppo is your go-to -3 cost reducer, outshining Tsuru, especially when you can bring him back from the Trash with Gecko Moria.
Situational Cost Reduction
Kaku and Kalifa are your backup plans, mainly providing 2k Counters, but they can also reduce an opponent’s character’s cost, setting up your removal tools. However, they’re both a tad expensive, so it can be troublesome to set it up.
Board Control
Your removal cards are your best friends here, making sure your opponent doesn’t have a good time playing. Combine them with your cost-reduction cards to take out high-cost characters.
Brook, when played or attacking, can reduce an opponent’s character’s cost by -1 and KO a 0-cost character. Your opponents will scramble to take him out to stop his effect from activating repeatedly.
Rob Lucci is your ultimate removal card. You can bring him back from the Trash and play him with Spandine and Gecko Moria. When played, he can KO two targets one with a cost of 2 or less and the other with a cost of 1 or less, adding a powerful punch to your strategy.
Kaku can take out a 3-cost character, making him a good alternative to Rob Lucci when dealing with a single pesky opponent.
Blocker Value
Rebecca is a star player in this deck, serving as a blocker while also fetching black characters with a cost ranging from 3 to 7 from the Trash to your hand. Plus, she can summon a black character with a cost of 3 or less, allowing you to make free plays like Spandine, which then brings in a rested Rob Lucci for free.
Sabo offers solid protection with his KO immunity, and his ability to draw 2 cards and discard 2 cards helps you manage your hand effectively, getting rid of cards you don’t need or can retrieve from the Trash later.
Late Gamers
Gecko Moria is a must-have in any black deck, offering incredible value. Before you play him, take a good look at what’s in your Trash. The goal is to get Rob Lucci out, and you have two ways to do it.
Firstly, Gecko Moria can directly bring back Rob Lucci alongside Tsuru or Helmeppo if you need to reduce costs. Or, you can bring back Rebecca, which then brings back Spandine (or you can play him from your hand for free), allowing you to play a rested Rob Lucci. Choosing the Rebecca route not only expands your board but also gives you a blocker to defend Leader during your opponent’s turn.
OP07 brings in a powerful 9-cost card to black decks! Stussy’s play effect lets you trash a card on the board to KO any opponent character. So, having disposable characters like Tsuru, Spandam, or Helmeppo makes the decision to play Stussy much easier.
